Fairies!

I'm optimistic about fairies. After all, there are some kinds of fairies in Sylvan Glade. I love this place, it's so beautiful and it really is a place made for fairies. I hope we see them return soon.

I think they could,I really do, but not in an GP. It would be too much to have werewolves, mermaids, plant people, cyborgs and other supernaturals in different GPs. Maybe GPs will be for really popular supernaturals like vampires and maybe witches, plus you can do so much with witches. I mean if witches were good in an EP I can't imagine how awesome they would be in a GP.

I really like what EA did with vampires. I cannot wait for my witches to make a come back. We need a coven of witches to fight the vampires. lol

A super natural EP would be pretty cool, although I would expect less life states introduced than in the sims 3, maybe like 3 new life states in Sims 4 as oppose to 3's 5 new life states (vampires, witches, werewolf's, fairies, and zombies). I think it would be pretty cool to get fairies and witches back, werewolf's were just kind of meh in sims 3, might just be my opinion, but ya witches and fairies have a lot of potential for this perk system vampires now use, and maybe each life state can get their own themed world, similar to forgotten hallow but of course reminiscent to the life state it belongs to. OH! And maybe some super natural careers! Maybe even playable careers? Or semi playable careers like in City Living? I think exclusive careers for super naturals would be pretty cool.

I'm honestly not a fan of fairies, especially the pink, sugary-sweet, glowy-winged fairies that Supernatural had.

I get that The Sims has a predominantly young, female audience nowadays, and as a 30-year old man I'm no longer the target audience, and that's fine, but TS3's fairies were just too girly. Same with mermaids and unicorns, tbh.

I'd prefer if they kept the supernatural content to stuff everybody can enjoy. Like with Vampires, we have Vampire Diaries and Twilight vamps if that's your cup of tea, or you can have monstrous, evil, bloodsucking fiends.

If TS4 had fairies that were more like elves, and we could choose between high fantasy, Peter Jackson prettyboys, or creepy Faire Folk that abduct Sims that step into their mushroom rings, and replace children with soulless doppelgangers, I think I could get behind fairies.

But the way they were implemented in TS3 is too polarizing, as it only appeals to one subset of the playerbase, large though it may be.

I never played with fairies in sims 3... not because I didn't like them. I just never felt like playing a fairy family. I do miss witches though! My favourite legacies were witch legacies! I always made the first female witch born in a generation be the heir. Maybe fairies and witches could be in a GP together?

I understand what you mean though I think Twilight and Vampire Diaries are also mainly targeted to a female audience...I think the whole "adorable male vampire thingy" is actually what caused the vampire hype of the last years.

At first glance fairies seem to be a girly thing too. But as vampires they leave a lot of room for personal story telling.
I also would love sims 4 fairies to have an elvish touch. There could be some sort of dark fairies too.

And talking about fairies most people may think of Tinker Bell first. But fairies don't have to be little girls or a girl thing by default.
Breathtaking beautiful women and men with elvish ears and imposing gorgeous wings are targeting all fantasy fans of all ages and not just the girly audience. Fairies have inspired artists for centuries and it's mostly not about girlish fairies, it's about majestic beauty, pure perfection, timeless elegance and the aesthetic, artistic possibilities these mythical creatures offer.

The design of the wings also doesn't have to be "super colourful pinkish girly like" only by default. There would be room for dark themed wings, neutral transparent wings and so on. And like vampires, fairies could be able to completely hide their fairy aspects (wings/ ears) if they wish so, allowing even more possibilities for story telling.

Oh and btw I am a male player too and I'm also over 30 years old and I would love to see fairies coming to The Sims 4 as a fantasy theme.

I also think they are very girly, even though I love them, but I do think that a GP only about fairies would attract more girls than boys and that seems kind of unfair. To me werewolves are also an occult that attract more boys than girls. I think witches are more attractive for both girls and guys.

Fairies could be dark in TS3 from what I recall. Some of their pranks were pretty nasty. It wasn't difficult to play your fairy as an unseelie, if that's what you prefer.

I would LOVE to have a Fairies GP, purely for my own satisfaction though ^_^

I would like them in an EP, but they need some changes. Like I really had problems matching clothes to her wings and one color wings just looked odd. Except black and white, you can never go wrong with that
